In an article earlier this month I defined what “free speech” really means legally in the United States, as the American public has increasingly defined “free speech” in political terms, and in relation to social media. See:
Do Big Tech Billionaires Promote “Free Speech” or Child Sex Trafficking? What is “Free Speech”?
And while “free speech” is a term legally defined by the Constitution of the United States in the First Amendment in the “Bill of Rights”, the REAL issues regarding speech have always been between publishing “truth” or publishing “lies”.

A quote attributed to Thomas Jefferson, one of the “founders” of the United States, even exemplifies this:
“The most effectual engines for [pacifying a nation] are the public papers… [A despotic] government always [keeps] a kind of standing army of newswriters who, without any regard to truth or to what should be like truth, [invent] and put into the papers whatever might serve the ministers.
This suffices with the mass of the people who have no means of distinguishing the false from the true paragraphs of a newspaper.” (Thomas Jefferson (1829). “Memoir, correspondence and miscellanies from the papers of Thomas Jefferson”, p.343)
I have observed this same thing through my own publishing career, especially in regards to government-published facts on the injuries and dangers caused by vaccines that I frequently wrote about BEFORE COVID, where the only narrative allowed by the Government, on BOTH sides of the political divide, was “The science on vaccines is settled. Vaccines are safe and effective.”
Any opposing view was viciously attacked by government sources, using the corporate media to silence them, and then later, also using social media sources to silence dissenters who dared to publish the truth, which included me as they banned me on all the major social media platforms.
In 2013, for example, popular daytime talk show host Katie Couric dared to interview a mother who lost her daughter to the Gardasil HPV vaccine.
Everything that Couric published was TRUE, and protected by the First Amendment.
She even stated publicly that she was pro-vaccine, that her and her daughters were both vaccinated by Gardasil, and she interviewed pro-vaccine doctors who stated that Gardasil was perfectly “safe and effective,” both lies.
But because she dared to interview a mother who was put forth as a tragic case of “very rare” vaccine side effects that took the life of her daughter, Katie Couric was viciously attacked as promoting conspiracy theories, and was forced to bring on to her show the next week the Surgeon General of the United States, dressed in her military uniform, to inform the public that Gardasil was perfectly safe.
